At Gulf Information Technology Exposition (GITEX), the police in Dubai revealed that they’ve been working with Hoversurf to develop custom hoverbikes for their daily duties. The police vehicles look very similar to the Scorpion-3 model from Hoversurf but can fly 16 feet in the air, travel at 43mph (70 kph) and function for 25 minutes on a charge.

Although the rotor blades are pretty menacing, something tells us criminals won’t be as terrified by the sight of a hoverbike as cops hope. In cars that can pass 60 mph easily, they shouldn’t have trouble leaving authorities behind. But to reach a traffic jam in time or a car accident, these vehicles are more than enough.

According to ABC, these hoverbikes are not the only vehicles set to strengthen the police department in Dubai. There’s also a smart e-bike that can spot reckless drivers and a driverless vehicle equipped with biometric software that can quietly keep track of suspects during city patrols. “It will be deployed at tourist destinations in Dubai. It has cameras and will be linked to the command room”, said Brigadier Khalid Nasser Al Razooqi, director of the Smart Services Department at Dubai Police for Gulf News.
